The Lingo method of contestant selection, the driving out of all spontaneity in pursuit of perfection (thus taking inordinate amounts of time), the addition of elements which take away from the game, and the hiring of mediocre or less-than-competent hosts (Ricki Lake, who IMO should never again be allowed on television, much less any game show) and announcers (Burton Richardson and, to a somewhat lesser extent, Rich Fields) when much better talent is available for the same price, is why I cannot muster much enthusiasm for The Game Show Reinaissance of 2006.
If the state of the genre remains like this, I may turn in my game show fandom card permanently.
